Donald Trump: The US Justice Department on Friday unveiled criminal charges in the failed Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. A criminal complaint filed in a Manhattan court alleges that an officer in Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard asked a man to surveil Trump and plan to kill him last September.
When a man named Farzad Shakri was unable to come up with a plan, the official told him that Iran would stop the plan after the election because it believed Trump would lose and it would be easy to kill him.
The US Justice Department has identified Shakeri, 51, as an agent of Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. He moved to America as a child. Came and was deported in 2008 after being accused of robbery. Prosecutors said Shakseri is on the run and is believed to be in Iran.
The Justice Department said Shakeri met with two New York residents, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt, and recruited them into his plot to target Trump. Both Rivera and Lodholt have been ordered detained pending trial. His lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The judge handling Donald Trump's case of interference in the 2020 US presidential election canceled his hearing deadline on Friday. Prosecutors told the court this week they needed time to assess appropriate actions in the case following Republican nominee Trump's presidential victory.
Last year, special counsel Jack Smith accused Trump of tampering with the results of the 2020 presidential election and illegally storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago property. However, Smith's team is now evaluating how to conclude the two federal cases before the president-elect takes office, given that long-standing Justice Department policy states that sitting presidents But cannot be prosecuted.
Final results are coming from the states for the US presidential election. President-elect Donald Trump received 301 electoral votes, more than the 270 votes needed to win, and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris received 226 votes. US media have declared Trump the winner in more than half of the 50 states, including key battleground states Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, all of which voted Democratic in the last election.
